PITA, though - took me ages to find these 2 garages. Time to get on the cahnsil waiting list - although I suspect they'll be in even more pikey areas. -- SteveH

As I said to Neal, there's space in my garage for 1 bike if you want somewhere to put it over winter, if you get it back. -- wessie at tesco dot net BMW R1150GS

I'm jinxed this month - first Katie's car needed a hugely expensive warranty repair [1], and now this. [1] 'Selespeed' flappy paddle gubbins went AWOL - would only select 1st and 2nd gear. Alfa 'specialist' saw the words 'warranty' and hiked the bill to a ridiculous extent - now I'm in the process of claiming back the eye-watering cost from them. (It's one of those aftermarket policies) -- SteveH |
